The dogs legs
have shortened to the shoulders
digging for nothing.

Many nights in this book.
The library is silent
until I leave.

Winter!
I can see my breath settling
under streetlights

Awake again--
the sounds of frozen branches slamming
against the roof.

Beneath the waves
the sunlight stops reaching.
I swim to the boat.
